Last week at Arm TechCon, NXP announced the new i.MX RT Series, a crossover processor that’s optimized for low power and high performance and features advanced multimedia for enhanced embedded GUIs.

Of course, we support the i.MX RT! We are working on updating our Storyboard demo images for NXP to include a demo for the i.MX RT in the coming weeks. In the meantime, check out the following video showcasing Storyboard multi-market applications on the i.MX RT 1050, which is based on the Arm Cortex-M7 core.

Today’s guest blog post is by one of our UI designers, Ahren. Ahren recently experienced a world of frustration trying to use a self-checkout kiosk. What should be a simple interaction turned out to be unnecessarily frustrating due to some small, but major, problems. So I asked him to write about it.

The following is a post from Fancy Dan, one of our creative and talented in-house designers. Dan uses Storyboard Suite on a daily basis to create awesome user experiences for embedded applications. He’s also the dulcet voice behind our Storyboard videos.
